Summary of the previous chapter: Zhu Youzhen gave Zhu Youxiao the tea, and Zhu Youxiao then gave Ma Xiaoquan a small bag, and this tea was carefully identified by Dongfang Qingxue and learned that its alias was - Ghost Gate Pass

+++++++++++++++++++

Ma Xiaoquan smiled awkwardly, but he still picked up the teacup and drank all the tea in the cup.

Dongfang Qingxue was not nervous by Ma Xiaoquan's move, after all, Ma Xiaoquan was not poisonous, and he was not worried that the ghost gate would poison Ma Xiaoquan.

"Well, this tea is not bad~" Ma Xiaoquan licked his lips and nodded in praise.

Dongfang Qingxue also picked up the teacup and took a shallow sip: "Well, the Ghost Gate Pass is the top grade in tea, of course, compared to some extremely rare and expensive teas such as the best Da Hong Pao, it is still a little worse, but it can be regarded as a good tea." ”

Ma Xiaoquan put down the teacup and said curiously: "Qingxue, you just said that if this tea is purple red after being mixed with saliva, it is highly poisonous, so this tea was given to his brother by King Xin, do you think King Xin will know the characteristics of this tea?" ”

Dongfang Qingxue shook her head: "I don't know about this, but Ma Xiaoquan, you can investigate, you are the second-grade deacon of Jinyiwei, if you want to get close to the emperor, I'm afraid few people can stop you, right?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan patted his head: "You're right, okay, then without further ado, I'll go to the palace to meet the emperor." ”

"Wait!" Dongfang Qingxue grabbed Ma Xiaoquan and said with a smile, "You went in such a panic, don't find an excuse, how can you say it?" ”

"That's right, I guess the king of faith is also here now, if I don't make up a good reason, I'm afraid the king will be suspicious."

Ma Xiaoquan pondered for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Eh, there is~" With that, Ma Xiaoquan pulled out a small wooden box from under the desk.

"What is this?" Dongfang Qingxue saw the wooden box and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"This is also a Mojia trap box that I got recently, in fact, this is a women's jewelry box, but there are some small mechanisms and delicate inside, and I can go to meet the emperor with this."

Dongfang Qingxue nodded and hummed softly

With the box in hand, Ma Xiaoquan immediately went to the palace to meet Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao was chatting with his younger brother Zhu Youzhen in the Heart Cultivation Hall at this time, and he had a package in his hand, which contained the tea leaves that Zhu Youzhen gave him today.

"Brother Huang, you haven't been feeling well lately, you need to take a good rest, I see that carpentry work, you can stop for a while." Zhu Youzhen persuaded.

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Rest is rest, but carpentry work can't be stopped, no matter what, this is also my sustenance." ”

Zhu Youzhen sighed secretly in his heart, but his brother was the emperor, and he, as a younger brother, couldn't and didn't dare to say anything.

At this moment, the eunuch outside the palace sent a message, saying that Ma Xiaoquan, the deacon of Jinyiwei, wanted to see the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't Ma Aiqing just leave for a long time, why did she come back again, pass it on~"

"Yes~"

Ma Xiaoquan carried the box with his head down and walked into the Palace of Heart Cultivation, and when he saw Zhu Youxiao, he respectfully performed the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and then greeted Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen was also a little curious, when he came before, it happened that Ma Xiaoquan was leaving, and now Ma Xiaoquan is here again, so he has to be suspicious, after all, the bag of tea he gave his brother is in his brother's hand at the moment, in case this Ma Xiaoquan is curious, and he comes up to check as a Jinyiwei, then wouldn't it

"Ma Xiaoquan, why are you here again?" Zhu Youjian asked on behalf of Zhu Youxiao.

Ma Xiaoquan bowed his hand and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, back to the prince, Weichen happened to get a small box of the Mo family recently, so he thought about sending it to the emperor immediately." ”

"Oh? The Mo family's trap box? Quick, bring it up and let me take a look~" Zhu Youxiao heard that it was a trap box, and became interested.

"Wait!" Zhu Youzhen stopped Zhu Youxiao and said, "Brother Huang, this Mo family's tricks are famous all over the world, but there are many gadgets that are lethal, why don't you let your brother check it on behalf of the emperor?" ”

Zhu Youxiao snorted: "It's okay~ Then you can go over and take a look, and then bring it to me when there is nothing unusual." ”

"Brother obeys!"

Zhu Youzhen walked slowly to Ma Xiaoquan, and stretched out his hand to bring over the Mojia trap box presented by Ma Xiaoquan.

"Click~" Zhu Youzhen opened the trap box and rummaged carefully for a while.

"Well, it's really exquisite, and there's no danger, okay, then I'll give it to the imperial brother~" Zhu Youzhen's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be thinking about something in his head.

Ma Xiaoquan saw Zhu Youzhen's thoughts, and snatched the box from his hand: "Thank you for the prince's love, this box is still presented to the emperor by Weichen himself." ”

"You~" Zhu Youzhen's face was unhappy, his eyes showed a fierce light, he was very dissatisfied with Ma Xiaoquan's move to recapture the trap box from him.

Ma Xiaoquan smiled, then took the action of the trap box, turned sideways to Zhu Youzhen's side, and whispered: "Lord Wang, there is no problem with the box trap, but there is a bit of a problem with the mind of Lord Wang just now." ”

Zhu Youzhen was stunned for a moment, and his originally angry expression suddenly became a lot more easy-going.

Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly, bowed and presented the trap box in front of Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't wait to take the trap box, and then began to fiddle with it.

I have to say that because Zhu Youxiao has been immersed in carpentry work for a long time, he has also studied carpentry mechanisms quite deeply, and a small mechanism box is completely different from the role presented in the hands of Ma Xiaoquan and Zhu Youzhen.

"Click" Zhu Youxiao kept fiddling with the box box, and after about a stick of incense, he laughed.

"Brother Huang, why are you laughing?" Zhu Youzhen stepped forward, first glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, and then asked.

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "I laughed at the Mo family's box but that's it, I only took almost a stick of incense to study this box thoroughly, Ma Aiqing, I don't want this box anymore, I will return it to you, but I still want to thank you, let me open my eyes." ”

"Your Majesty, how can this be, this trap box" Ma Xiaoquan wanted to refuse.

"Eh, what are you afraid of, I've already thought of a better way to make a trap box, so you're useless~"

Ma Xiaoquan didn't dare to say anything, he was worried that Zhu Youxiao was testing him.

Zhu Youzhen stepped forward, took the box from his brother's hand, handed it to Ma Xiaoquan, and said with a smile: "Ma Xiaoquan, since the imperial brother said that he would return it to you, it must be returned to you, come, take it." ”

Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and looked at Zhu Youzhen, and found that this kid had an evil smile on his face.
